Creating songs (SEQUENCER mode)
Pan
This specifies the panning of each external audio input
signal. If you are inputting a stereo audio source, you will
normally pan the inputs to L000 and R127 respectively.
Level
This controls the level of the external audio signal. The
default is 127.
Note: The analog audio signals from Audio Inputs 1 & 2 are
converted into digital form by an A/D converter. The meter
to the left of the Level fader shows the signal level immedi-
ately after conversion, and before the Level control. Level
sets the volume of the signal immediately after the meter.
If the sound is distorted even though the Level setting is very
low, see "Tips for eliminating distortion when using the
analog inputs" on page 97.
Avoiding extraneous noise
If cables are connected to any of the audio inputs (analog
or USB), any noise carried by the cables will enter into
the NAUTILUS mixer structure. This may include hiss,
hum, and other audio noise.
To avoid noise from unused audio inputs, either:
• Set the input's Level to 0
or
• Set all of the bus assignments to Off, including Bus
Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign), REC Bus, and FX
Control Bus
If no audio cables are connected to the analog audio
inputs, the input signals are forced to zero, preventing any
additional noise.
See the signal flowchart on the
page 449 of the PG for other
REC sources.

Audio Track Mixer
You can specify the audio source to record from, and change
the Play/Mute status, Solo status, pan, and volume for
playback.
REC Source
This selects the source that will be recorded on the track. The
signal of the bus line you specify here will be recorded.
If you set the Track Select field to Audio Track, you will be
able to monitor the REC Source of that track.
The options will differ slightly depending on whether or not
Stereo Pair is enabled.
Audio Input 1, 2, 1/2, or USB 1, 2, 1/2: Choose these to
directly record the audio input from the analog, or USB
inputs. The inputs will be recorded directly without passing
through the L/R bus, REC buses, or Individual buses. None
of the Audio Input settings will affect the recorded signal;
this includes Bus (IFX/Indiv), Pan, Level, Solo, and
Play/Mute. See the diagram "REC Source = Audio Input 1,
2, 1/2."
If Stereo Pair is on and Audio Input 1/2 is selected, Audio
Input 1 will be input to the odd-numbered track, and Audio
Input 2 will be input to the even-numbered track. Similarly,
USB 1/2 will be input to the odd-numbered and even-
numbered tracks respectively.
L, R, L/R: The L/R bus after passing through TFX 1 and 2
will be recorded. Choose this if you want to record an
external audio signal being sent to the L/R bus, or the sound
being produced by the NAUTILUS (and sent to the L/R bus)
in response to sequencer playback, keyboard playing, or
MIDI input.
If Stereo Pair is on, L is sent to odd-numbered tracks, and R
is sent to even-numbered tracks.
